My power plan is only showing the balanced option in control panel, no drop down for other choices
Good morning. I just received my new HP Omen yesterday and I am running Windows 11. When I open the control panel under power options I am only receiving the choice for balanced plan. Even if I try to create or change plan settings I am not offered another choice besides balanced. I called customer support and they were no help at all. In fact the representative said that since this is a desktop and not a laptop the option is not available. I know this is not true as I was able to change this on previous PCs I have owned.
I found a suggestion online that mentioned working with the command prompt as an administrator, Here is what I put in:
But when I opened power options again nothing has changed.
I also tried powercfg /restoredefaultschemes with no luck. Any help would be appreciate. Thank you in advance.

If after trying these steps you're still limited to only the Balanced plan, it might indicate a system configuration issue or a bug. In that case, performing a repair install of Windows or contacting HP support again with detailed steps you've taken could be necessary.
Thank you for responding. I did contact HP support and the PC is limited to the balanced plan due to the configuration and standby. You can change it in the HP Omen Gaming Hub to performance but you do not have the customability you get with Windows. If that is the case I will just keep it as is as I do not game on the PC at all.
